To make this collaboration work, your company needs the right integration system. This system can automate invoicing, process payments, and sync subscription information in monday.com for seamless management.
Let us explore how monday.com improves recurring billing workflows by integrating with advanced subscription management software.
What is monday.Com?
monday.com is a flexible Work Operating System (Work OS) that provides teams with a unified digital platform for managing projects, and operational workflows. The platform enables users to track and manage their business processes, giving them a specialized space to organize activities and improve communication.
Its suite of features includes project management, CRM, real-time dashboards, and customization tools. The software is intuitive and versatile, and can adapt to businesses of various sizes. It can also seamlessly integrate with external software to upgrade its functionality.
What is monday.Com’s Role in Recurring Billing?
monday.com is not a billing platform. Rather, it is a Work OS that assists users in streamlining business processes, and customer relationships. Yet this does not constrain the platform’s functionality to refine your recurring billing workflows.
Through integration with subscription billing applications, monday.com can be used as a unified platform for recurring billing management. Businesses can track subscription renewals, monitor invoice statuses, automate billing processes, and do a lot more.
How Businesses Can Use monday.com for Recurring Billing
monday.com integrates with subscription and billing management systems such as SubscriptionFlow. Such integration allows for two-way data syncing between the platforms. Businesses can pull data such as customer accounts, contacts, payment methods, invoice details etc. from SubscriptionFlow to monday.com boards.
They can use this data to improve their recurring billing operations. Here are some major ways how businesses can leverage the tools of monday.com to streamline subscription billing workflows:
- Tracking Subscription Renewals
Companies can connect their subscription management platforms such as SubscriptionFlow to monday.com in order to synchronize customer data. This data can include customers’ subscription plan type, renewal dates, payment status, payment history, and more.
Businesses can create custom boards in monday.com based on this data to keep an eye on their customers’ subscription cycles. They can set up dashboards and columns that showcase the subscription metrics of their choice, for easy access. For instance, they can create a ‘renewal dates’ column which can get populated automatically due to data synchronization.
Businesses can enable the platform to send them automatic notifications whenever a subscription renewal is due. Reminders can also be activated for customer success teams so that they can follow-up on a subscriber’s renewal timely.
monday.com can also be leveraged to boost customer engagement. This can be achieved by integrating the software with email marketing platforms. Personalized messages can be curated, and then sent to customers directly from Monday.com.
- Monitoring Invoice Statuses
Businesses can set up custom boards in monday.com that display the complete information of their subscription invoices. Multiple columns are arranged within these boards to show invoice numbers, customer names, payment due dates, invoice statuses, and so on.
Automation rules can be established in monday.com to automatically update invoice information in such columns in real-time. This enables companies to efficiently monitor the paid, and not-paid statuses of each invoice. It facilitates effective accounts receivable management since companies can spot unpaid invoices and address them proactively.
monday.com boards present invoice information in easy-to-understand formats, and enable businesses to track their payment patterns. The platform can also be set to notify teams when invoices are overdue, so that they can follow up on them in a timely manner, and recover their hard-earned income.
- Making Customer Segments
Grouping customers into segments simplifies payment management, and customer renewal processes. These customer categories can be named Active, Inactive, Pending Renewal, and Churned.
The Active segment can display subscribers with successful subscription payments, whereas the Inactive segment can show all customers with overdue payments. The Pending Renewal segment can include customers whose payments have failed but are still in their subscription period. Finally, the Churned segment can include all the customers who have terminated their subscription.
monday.com’s automation can be used to transfer customers from one segment to another immediately upon change of payment status. For example, a customer in the Pending Renewal segment can be moved to the Active segment upon payment.
Similarly, customers can also be categorized based on their subscription plans, such as Standard, Advanced, Premium, etc. Whenever they upgrade or downgrade plans, these changes are reflected in your monday.com boards in real-time. This helps you monitor customer preferences, and ensure that customers are billed according to the right plan.
- Managing Customer Relationships
With monday.com, businesses can automate the post-payment follow-up protocols. They can, for instance, automatically send personalized thank-you messages for successful payments. They can also create onboarding sequences including step-by-step guides that help with service use. These sequences are triggered as soon as customers complete their sign-up.
monday.com also allows businesses to monitor customer engagement trends via visually appealing and customizable boards (such as charts and graphs). Customer engagement metrics can include service-usage frequency, platform-interaction frequency, delayed transactions, and more.
The platform alerts companies once customer engagement drops below a certain threshold, so they can proactively launch retention campaigns.
- Streamlining Sales Efforts
monday.com organizes a business’s leads into different categories such as new leads, contact leads and converted leads. The number of leads in each category can be tracked to measure the performance of the business’s marketing campaigns.
Beyond lead management, the platform can also be utilized to optimize the sales pipeline. Businesses can keep a record of service improvements to be made, and create action plans to carry those out. monday.com manages sales processes, categorizes tasks on priority basis, and tracks all the technical issues that need to be addressed.
These tools are important to maintain visibility into billing operations, prevent revenue leakage, and resolve subscribers’ issues proactively.
- Integrating with Billing Platforms
Customer data cannot update automatically in monday.com if it is not integrated with a subscription billing platform. Without this integration, businesses have to populate data fields in monday.com manually. This process is time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient.
Manual data entry in monday.com also defeats the platform’s purpose of tracking subscription metrics in real-time. Integration with platforms such as SubscriptionFlow keeps this purpose intact. It syncs data with monday.com and enables automatic field population.
Businesses gain a comprehensive view of their customer and payment data from one place. They can set workflows in place that trigger automatic actions, such as payment reminders. Such actions require no manual intervention, reducing administrative burden.
